Advantages: Much improved visual quality & extra features Disadvantages: music on dolby sound doesnt sound any different
this DVD as it's of 'muppet magic' which is one of the first productions made by Henson and his crew, but in later ones you start to get more of a feel for them as the muppet family grows and you get miss piggy, animal, gonzo and even on to the fraggle rock gang.

Running for a total of 62 minutes this DVD is one of the originals that have just been brought out on new DVD format for all us Muppet lovers to purchase in order to replace those bulky and unsightly VHS versions.
Although the graphics have been improved slightly the music hasn't but I suppose this is due to the original being quite low tech. However I still love it and am glad I bought the DVD version as it's got extra features that my old video didn't have. These features of course ...
Advantages: Entertaining enough, harmless family fun Disadvantages: Nothing special about it
an American Indian played by Frank Salsedo - Uncle Kipper has magic powers that help Ashley in her plans for Orky. However, he doesn't really appear on screen enough to be a character that matters much to the film and I couldn't help but think that it wouldn't have made much difference if he wasn't there.

Advantages: Some good visual aids, fab music and mildly comical Disadvantages: A lot of rubbish that is hard to ignore...
THE BEATLES: MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
WHERE THIS FITS INTO MY BEATLEMANIA MONTH OF MAY:
Possibly the greatest failure of the bands career?!
(Please note that this is a 'Film Only' review, hopefully displayed in the right section!)
It is pretty fair to say that up and until the December of 1967, everything the Beatles touched turned to gold; they'd had over ten number one singles in the UK and albums to add to their resumes with two pretty comical yet critically acclaimed movies. 'A Hard Days Night' and 'Help!' may seem as if they lack plot and depth but in essence what held them together was undeniably the bands music and obvious dry, witty sense of humour.
Yet, I don't think anybody was quite prepared for the bands third movie release. 'Magical Mystery Tour', broadcast for the first time on television on Boxing Day 1967, was ...
